Is there a recycling plan in place for nickel-metal hydride batteries?
Toyota has a comprehensive battery recycling program in place and has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, is recycled. To ensure that batteries come back to Toyota, each battery has a phone number on it to call for recycling information and dealers are paid a $200 "bounty" for each battery.
George Bush, America's first President with an MBA, has been slapped on the knuckles by 169 concerned business-school professors. In an open letter sent on Oct. 4, the senior business and economics professors say Bush's economic policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. The academics, including two Nobel laureates, are especially critical of the budget deficit, which this year is projected to come in at more than $400 billion

Speaking as an academic, I can say that I find the bulk of my work infinitely more satisfying than work I did previously in private industry. I am fortunate to work for a college which emphasizes teaching over research, as this is where I derive the greatest satisfaction.
Yes there are politics, and yes they pay is less, but I sleep well and as trite as this may sound, I feel I am making a positive contribution to the world.

Actually, they are mock turtlenecks. He is mocking evil.
Don't you mean verbatium.
I propose a new technology where the disc self detructs before it is played. I think the following films should be made available in this format.
Star Wars Episide IV: Attack of the Clones
Matrix Reloaded
Ishtar
Heaven's Gate
Death to Smoochy
Please feel free to add further recommendations
don't get your hopes up...don't get your hopes up...don't get your hopes up...
and I decided to automate it (appropriate to my programing knowledge upon the release of Episode IV)
10 print "don't get your hopes up..."
20 goto 10
That's funny...they call me "Microsoft."
Just proves the old adage...you are what you eat.

No, call me devil's advocate...

Expect a cease and desist order soon.

Plus tenure and summers off! Woohoo!
